Don't Forget to Remember Me

In case you run short on cash�
In this big old place
But for me they drug on and on
That I'm still his little girl
We were loadin' up that Chevy
Momma kept on talkin', puttin' off goodbye

Keep tellin' me I'm on my own
Both tryin' not to cry

But don't forget to remember me
You better stop for gas
And those bills there on the counter

And even when it's not

I called Mama up last night
And there's a fifty in the ashtray
But don't forget to remember me�
But Lord I feel so small sometimes

Then she took my hand and said
I'll see her in the fall
�Hey Mama don't forget�

And just like every Sunday
�Before you hit the highway
�To tell my baby sister
�Baby don't forget�
�Here's a map and here's a Bible
�And make sure you tell daddy
I haven't done this in a while
So I don't know what to say
If you ever lose your way
Yeah I know there's more important things

And tell Mee-Mal that I miss her
Sure makes me miss home
Yeah I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be
Before we hung up I said
Tonight I find myself kneelin' by the bed to pray
This downtown apartment
Just one more thing before you leave
I tell her everything's all right
Don't forget to remember me�
Yeah I should give her a call�
